Cascadia Wildlands v. Thrailkill

摘要

The Douglas Complex Fire destroyed approximately 48,000 acres of forest in Oregon. In response, the Bureau created the Recovery Project to salvage remaining spotted owl habitat and optimize the growth of new habitat. Finding that the Service's conclusions were supported by the best available science and were not arbitrary or capricious, the district court denied Cascadia's motion for a preliminary injunction. Given our limited review of the denial of a preliminary injunction, we conclude that the district court acted within its discretion. The denial of injunctive relief was legally sound and supported by the record.
